Ed West, Zach Makovsky and Ulysses Gomez all won decisions Thursday night at Bellator 27 to advance to the semifinals of the Bellator Fighting Championships bantamweight tournament.

In the first fight of the televised card, West beat Bryan Goldsby by unanimous decision in a bout that will be remembered mostly for the fact that the fans at home couldn’t watch it: For most of the fight the Fox Sports Net broadcast lost its video feed, and viewers saw only a graphic saying “Bellator 27 technical difficulties.” The Fox Sports Net audio was still working, but the announcers didn’t seem to realize that the viewers at home couldn’t see the action, and therefore weren’t as descriptive as they should have been.
